When the PCIEX8 slot is populated, the PCIEX16 slot will operate at up to x8 mode. 2 x PCI Express x16 slots, running at x4 (PCIEX4_1, PCIEX4_2) * The PCIEX4_1 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX8 and PCIEX16 slots. When the PCIEX4_1 slot is populated, the PCIEX16 slot will operate at up to x8 mode and the PCIEX8 will operate at up to x4 mode. * When installing a x8 or above card in the PCIEX4_1 slot, make sure to set PCIE Slot Configuration (CPU) in BIOS Setup to x4. (Refer to Chapter 2, “BIOS Setup,” “Peripherals,” for more information.) * The PCIEX4_2 slot shares bandwidth with the PCIEX1 slots. The PCIEX1 slot will become unavailable when a PCIe x4 expansion card is installed. (The PCIEX16, PCIEX8 and PCIEX4_1 slots conform to PCI Express 3.0 standard.) 1 x PCI Express x1 slot (The PCIEX4_2 and PCIEX1 slots conform to PCI Express 2.0 standard.) 2 x PCI slots Multi-Graphics Technology Support for 4-Way/3-Way/2-Way AMD CrossFire™/2-Way NVIDIA® SLI™ technology Storage Interface Chipset: 1 x SATA Express connector 6 x SATA 6Gb/s connectors Support for RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10 (SATA Express and SATA3 4/5 connectors can only be used one at a time.)
